Seriously. Of course, he’s also implying electromagnetism that results from energy, vibration, and frequency. But otherwise, that’s right — because that’s all the universe can f—king do. The part that’s missing is ‘because energy’s got nowhere else to go’.

It’s kind of annoyingly frustrating to be honest. I mean, I just got there since August. I think Wolfram got there recently too, and I’ve forgotten the other scientist’s name. But yeah, the universe is classical, and we got lost in mathiness b/c Einstein/Bohr. It’s exasperating.

No the universe isn’t fine-tuned for life. Once you grasp the absolutely trivial foundations of the universe, and the limited options it has, then the rest is just what energy levels and frequencies produce different distributions of the same result: computation. Quantum=COUNT.

WHAT I BELIEVE DOESN”T MATTER THE TRUTH IS EVIDENT
— ” @curtd Would you say that God is conscious? Or, are you making an argument for naturalism, in that only science exists and not the supernatural/spiritual? ” — Michael Allen
(a) How can I know whether god exists? (b) How can I know whether an existential god is conscious? (c) I can and do know the laws of the universe, and those laws are not ‘nice’ – they are all but hostile to man. (d) Jesus’ teachings tell us how to tolerate those laws: Christian love of one another. (e) If I know both these laws of the universe and that jesus’ demand for love of one another is the only solution to human joy under those laws, then whether god is existential and conscious, existential but not conscious, emergent and unconscious, emergent and unconscious, or merely a convenient fiction makes no difference. What is required is that believe and act as if god exists, under the laws of the universe, and obey Jesus demand for Christian love of one another.
The question is why would you need more certainty than this? The reason is not a good one. The reason is if you need to believe that scripture is ‘true’ as science is true, or whether it is wisdom for us to inherit and make use of.
And there are people for whom the truth as I’ve explained it is insufficient for their egos – which is unchristian selfishness. God, His Laws, and Christ’s Command are enough. Everything else is just evading the work of understanding gods laws, the world we have built with them, and the responsibility of applying them, under the constraint of Christian love.

I’m not a fan of Ian McGilchrist, even if I can appreciate his attempt at a British(Scottish, Celtic) home-grown scientific alternative to german phenomenalism (that’s what he’s doing). But at least he understands the problem of producing mindfulness by intuition (vs doing).

Is that true? That’s a claim that there is no most parsimonious description of the universe. And it’s evident that’s false. It’s increasingly visible as a simple set of laws that evolve from just one.
So, I stop people from lying to me or in my presence, but CHOICE is theirs.

GOD’S LAWS ARE NOW EVIDENT. FAITH IS WISDOM(ADVICE) NOT TRUTH(NECESSITY)
— “Jesus is the living truth: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) ” — Michael Allen
Saying so doesn’t make it so. Quoting it doesn’t make it so. What makes it so is evidence that survives under the scruitiny of god’s laws, and gods laws are those of the universe.
We find the faith, the scripture, and the church, almost universally wrong in such matters of truth and god’s laws, and the only truth we find is in the words spoken by jesus of nazareth that are reducible to nothing more complex than “love one another as kin, regardless of cost, and you will escape the suffering that the advanced civilizations of the greeks, romans, and persians have brought to our primitive lands, and fing joy and peace in that love – the love I give to you as example.”

THE CONVERGENCE OF EUROPEAN ARISTOCRATIC EMPIRICISM AND SEMITIC SUPERNATURAL FAITH
Whether you’re a Thomist and a Deist giving precedence to the supernatural faith, or an Aristotelian and Empiricist with Jesus a philosopher – giving precedence to truth over faith, the convergence between aristocracy and peasantry still exists in the compatibility of the two.
My argument is that we know the laws of the universe, and we cannot claim the existence of a god without also claiming those laws are his laws. The surprise was that Jesus was teaching us how to tolerate the tragic consequences for man of those laws: love.
I can only say that there is a long history of combining Aryan (European) aristocratic truth, with Semitic (Abrahamic) comforting, and that I can see how to continue that tradition, if religion is needed, as a restoration of martial paganism that includes Jesus and his Christian love.
